The company said it was &#8220;completely unacceptable&#8221; that its content appeared in such threads on the platform. X said it does not intentionally place brands &#8220;next to this kind of content&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It comes as X owner Elon Musk was criticised after calling an antisemitic conspiracy theory &#8220;actual truth&#8221; when replying to a post on the platform. The left-leaning watchdog Media Matters for America said it found ads bought by IBM and other companies next to posts including Hitler quotes, praise of Nazis and Holocaust denial. One pro-Nazi post that was shown next to an IBM ad was seen about 8,000 times, X said in a statement to the BBC.<\/p>\n<p>The other firms listed include Apple, Oracle, television network Bravo and telecoms company Xfinity. The BBC has approached the companies for comment. &#8220;IBM has zero tolerance for hate speech and discrimination and we have immediately suspended all advertising on X while we investigate this entirely unacceptable situation,&#8221; the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>X told the BBC that ads are not deliberately placed next to extremist content, that the Nazi-promoting accounts will not earn money from advertising and that specific posts will be labelled &#8220;sensitive media&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;X&#8217;s point of view has always been very clear that discrimination by everyone should STOP across the board &#8211; I think that&#8217;s something we can and should all agree on,&#8221; Chief Executive Linda Yaccarino posted on Thursday. &#8220;X has also been extremely clear about our efforts to combat antisemitism and discrimination,&#8221; she added. &#8220;There&#8217;s no place for it anywhere in the world &#8211; it&#8217;s ugly and wrong.&#8221; Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Mr Musk responded affirmatively to a tweet that accused Jewish communities of pushing &#8220;hatred against whites&#8221; and which included anti-immigrant sentiments.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-67446797\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-67446797\">BBC<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/ibm-suspends-ads-on-x-after-they-appeared-next-to-nazi-posts\/\">IBM suspends ads on X after they appeared next to Nazi posts<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[11561,7767,12295,606,607,608,10928],"class_list":["post-118809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ads","tag-ibm","tag-nazi-post","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-x"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118809\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
